In addition to below, I just noticed that Robert Cardwell, son of Robert
Cardwell and Elizabeth Copelan, married a Nancy MAYES 23 Oct 1837 Grainger
Co. TN. This Nancy Mayes is shown as being born in 1816.

One poster recently asked for information on a Robert Cardwell. From this
book, it appears that the senior Robert Cardwell came from Campbell County
VA to Grainger Co. TN between 1808 and 1810. Their oldest child, John was
born 26 Aug 1808 in Campbell Co. VA, and the second child, Alice, was born
26 Aug 1810 in Grainger Co. TN. Alice married Cornelius Goforth 19 Aug
1830, Grainger Co. TN. According to notes kept by Cornelius Goforth, he
bought the Robert Cardwell homeplace and he and Alice made a home for
Elizabeth Copelan Cardwell. She is with them on the 1870 census, but not on
the 1880 census. Her death date is not known.

It's proximity to Bean Station makes it a distinct possibility, but I don't
know for sure. My g-g-g-grandfather, John Roach, headed his will Bean
Station, and I think some of that family were married by a Tate.

The NOE family was connected through marriage to my CARDWELL line, also from
Grainger Co. TN., and so was the TATE family. That's how I got involved in
that discussion.

According to the book "Robert Cardwell of Campbell County Virginia", written
by a Robert Cardwell of El Paso some years ago:

Mary A. Cardwell was born Grainger Co. TN 24 Feb 1814. She was the daughter
of Robert and Elizabeth Copelin Cardwell. Mary married first Andrew
Chamberlain. The inventory of his estate was filed 4 August 1834, and
Robert Cardwell was made guardian of the infant children.

Mary married David N. Tate 5 March 1835. David was the son of Edward and
Lucy Tate and was born in Grainger Co. TN 29 June 1812. David N. was made
administrator of the estate of Mary's father, Robert, when he died. David
N. Tate died in Grainger Co. TN 16 Feb 1883.

The Cardwell/Chamberlain union produced two children: Jeremiah Chamberlain
and Elizabeth Jane Chamberlain. Elizabeth Jane married Samuel N. Tate 28
July 1850 Grainger Co. TN. One of their children was a COMFORT K. TATE,
born Nov. 1863. Other children were George A. Tate, Lucy C. Tate, Edward M.
Tate, Catherine A. Tate, M.J. (f), and Samuel N. Tate. The son Samuel N.
Tate and Cornelia M. _____ also had a daughter named COMFORT K. TATE, born
June 1895.

The Cardwell/Tate union produced Edward M. Tate, married Mary C. Noe,
daughter of Solomon Noe and Mahaly ______. Other children were Lucy, Mary
J., John R., David A., and Victoria Tate.

The above comes strictly from the book and not from any research that I have
done on the family. I research Anthony C. Cardwell, who was my g-g-g
grandfather and a brother to Robert Cardwell, father of this Mary A.
Cardwell Chamberlain Tate. There are a number of errors in this book, but
the ones I can spot have to do with the Roach connection. (Anthony
Cardwell's daughter, Melvina Jane, married Absalom Roach, son of the
aforementioned John Roach.)

Betty B. wonder if your TATE name was part of
the family TATE SPRINGS is named for? KINGSWOOD
